2000AD Prog 899 – 5th August, 1994 closes out several major story arcs from this gripping phase in the series, bringing together a high-impact blend of futuristic action, satire, and darkly imaginative storytelling that remains a hallmark of the classic 2000AD run. This issue is wrapped in a moody and atmospheric cover illustration of Brigand Doom, crafted by Dermot Power, which sets the tone for the contents within.

Leading the issue is the final part of Brigand Doom: House of Games, a three-episode arc spanning Progs 897 to 899. Written by Alan McKenzie, illustrated by Dave D’Antiquis, and lettered by Annie Parkhouse, this finale delivers a satisfying climax to the cyber-noir storyline. Brigand Doom has always stood apart for its stylised violence, philosophical undertones, and shadowy dystopian setting - this closing chapter is no exception, offering rich atmosphere and visual grit.

Judge Dredd returns with a satirical one-off titled A Guide To Mega-Speak, a humorous look at the street slang and jargon that permeates the towering streets of Mega-City One. Penned by series co-creator John Wagner, with art from Ron Smith, colours by Dondie Cox, and lettering by Ellie De Ville, it’s a fun but sharp exploration of how language evolves under totalitarian regimes. This story has also been collected in Judge Dredd: The Complete Case Files 21, which reflects its popularity among fans of the more playful side of the Dredd universe.

Rogue Trooper (Friday) reaches the conclusion of the Mercenary Attitudes arc, a military sci-fi narrative that spans Progs 896 to 899. Written by Steve White and illustrated by Henry Flint, with letters by Bunty Mayhew, this chapter wraps up the mission with a mix of hard-nosed combat and moral complexity. Fans of strategic action and gritty war zones will find this storyline especially satisfying, and Flint’s artwork adds serious visual weight to the explosive final act.

The long-running serial Armoured Gideon: The Collector also sees its dramatic finale in this prog. The story, written by John Tomlinson and illustrated primarily by Simon Jacob with some contributions by Mike White, has unfolded over 11 episodes (Progs 889 to 899). This ambitious arc features a mind-bending journey across dimensions, intersecting with legacy characters including Shako, Harry Twenty, Invasion, Ace Trucking, and M.A.C.H.0, offering a thrilling dive into 2000AD’s own mythos. With lettering by Annie Parkhouse and Peter Knight, this storyline is a fitting showcase of 2000AD’s layered universe and homage to its publishing history.

Strontium Dogs: Crossroads also wraps up in this issue, concluding the three-part arc written by Peter Hogan, drawn by Nigel Dobbyn, and lettered by Annie Parkhouse. The mutant bounty hunters face a moral and literal crossroads as choices are made that could alter the fate of familiar characters. Reprinted in Judge Dredd Megazine 320, this storyline underscores the emotional stakes often hidden beneath the series' high-octane action.
